Review of London’s private historical pub walk, with classic pubs, city stories, guide tips, costs, timing, and practical booking advice.

“If you’re looking for a walking tour that’s got that “no diggity, no doubt” vibe, look no further than Ricky and his trusty sidekick, Diggity! This Historical Pub Walking Tour of London is the real deal, and Ricky knows how to keep it smooth like a fine gin. From the moment we kicked off, Ricky was dropping knowledge bombs about London’s history that had us saying, “Wow, I can’t believe I didn’t know that!” His insights were engaging and entertaining, making the history feel alive and relevant.

6.White Cliffs of Dover & Historic Canterbury Day Tour from London

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 373 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $109

Review the White Cliffs of Dover and Canterbury day tour from London, with practical advice on walking, timing, value, guides, and cathedral entry.

“Unless you want to go into Canterbury Cathedral, there's no point in going to Canterbury. There are no good viewpoints from the town of the Cathedral and the Cathedral grounds are completely off limits for those who dont pay for the tour. Canterbury has some beautiful buildings, bot so do other British cities. The tour guide was reading from a script that, while mostly accurate, was poorly written. Both the guide and the driver were friendly however.”
